To put it simply, the hotter the solar panel becomes, the less efficient it becomes. This decreases production over time. Heat is also a leading cause of panel degradation.

So before you move forward with a solar install that is very close to the roof surface, you may still want to consider the ol’ standard solar standoff (see photo above) with at least a few inches of clearance (3-4″ is good) underneath the panels to help maximize your solar panel’s production, and to increase its life expectancy.
